I left my job at Amazon to turn my side hustle into a full-fledged agency, and I'm on track to make multiple 6 figures in my first year. Here are 7 key steps I took before clocking out for good.

Determined to inhale every ounce of information I could, I jumped head first into the entrepreneurial world, and before I knew it, I was completely and utterly consumed. I had previously been working 70- to 80-hour weeks for almost a year when I finally realized that I had "proved it" to myself — IGiving notice can be scary. It can be scary to leave a stable job with benefits, scary to consider what people might think of you, and scary to jump into so many unknowns.

One of the smartest decisions I ever made was to start my business while I had the security net of full-time employment. Having a year to reach big and fail big with minimal risk was a huge asset, and I highly recommend it. If you have the opportunity, it's very important to get your ducks in a row before clocking out. Here are the seven steps that I took before I stopped "working for the man" and became a leading lady.

I sought out a digital marketing agency as a client that did my branding and website in exchange for my virtual assistant services. I knew I had to have everything in place before I launched, and trading my services was exactly how I got there with a limited budget. I also started posting on social media about three months before I publicly launched, including productivity tips, motivational quotes, and most importantly, posts on getting to know me, the person behind the brand.

“Revenue figures project to be multiple six figures” is quite different than netting six figures.

Good for you.
